Fig.23.1Hypothyroidismmanagementalgorithm.TPOAb,thyroidperoxidaseantibodies.
Patienteducation
Lifelong levothyroxine replacement is usually needed—patients should be counselled accordingly.
Provide written information wherepossibleand/ordirect patientsto reputableonline
sourcestoresearchfurther.
Lifestyleandsimpleinterventions
Caffeineimpairslevothyroxineabsorptionandshouldbeavoided60minutesbeforeand aftertakingthemedication.
Smokinghasbeenshowntoimpairthyroidglandfunction;smokingcessationmaybe
beneficial.
Pharmacologicalmanagement
Levothyroxine(T4)replacementforprimaryhypothyroidismissimple,safe,andeffective forthemajorityofpatients(seeFig.23.1).
https://t.me/med1917
Levothyroxineshouldbetakenonanemptystomachideallyanhourbeforeeating;this
isusuallyfirstthinginthemorningbutitcanbetakenatnight.
Excess levothyroxine replacement can cause symptoms of thyrotoxicosis, AF, and
osteoporosis.
Liothyronine(T3)treatmentisnotusedroutinely—seeBox23.1forfurtherdetails.
Box23.1Liothyronine(T3)treatment
ThereiscurrentlynoevidencesupportingtheuseofLiothyronine(T3)replacementor natural thyroid extracts. An endocrinologist may consider T3 replacement if levothyroxinetherapydoesnotresolvesymptomsdespitenormalizationofTFT.
For patientsalreadyestablished on T3therapy, consider switching to levothyroxine followingdiscussionwiththepatient.Adviceshouldbesoughtfromanendocrinologist onhowtodothissafely.

Psychosocialconsiderations
Low mood/depression are common, but these may improve with adequate thyroid hormone replacement. Data suggest 5–10% of patients may have persistent symptoms despitetreatment.
Complications
If left untreated, hypothyroidism can lead to cardiac failure and dementia, and can significantlyimpairqualityoflifeduetoongoingsymptoms.
Rarely,untreatedhypothyroidismcanleadtomyxoedemacoma—amedicalemergency characterized by hypothermia, hypoglycaemia, bradycardia, cardiac failure, cyanosis, seizures,andimpairedconsciousness.
After commencing levothyroxine or changing the dose, repeat testing should notoccur for a minimum of 2 months as stable thyroid hormone levels will nothave beenachieved before this.
Monitoringandfollow-up
TFT should be checked annually once the patient is established on a stable dose of levothyroxine—TSHmonitoringinisolationisusuallysufficient.
https://t.me/med1917
Patients who continue to experience symptoms despite adequate levothyroxine replacementshouldbeinvestigatedforalternativecauses.
Wherethediagnosisofhypothyroidismisindoubt,levothyroxinecanbestoppedand TFTrechecked6weekslater.
Where alternative causes cannot be identified and symptoms persist, endocrinology referralmaybewarrantedinordertoreviewongoingmanagement.
Specialconsiderations
Pregnancy
Pregnancyincreasesthyroidhormonerequirements;doseincreasesof25–50%areusually neededfromthefirsttrimester.
Womenwithknownhypothyroidismwhoareplanningpregnancyshouldbereferredto aspecialistandhaveTFTcheckedpriortoconception.Theyshouldbeadvisedtodelay conceptionifnoteuthyroid.
If already pregnant, TFT should be checked immediately and a specialist’s advice soughtregardinglevothyroxinedoseadjustment.
TFTshouldbecheckedevery6weeksduringpregnancytoensurethepatientremains euthyroid,minimizingtheriskofobstetricandneonatalcomplications.

Overview
Osteoporosis is a systemic skeletal disease, characterized by low bone mass and microarchitecturaldeterioration ofbonetissue,leadingto↑bone fragilityand↑fracture risk1. Osteoporosis leads to >300,000 fragility fractures in the UK each year. These fractures occur from low-impact trauma, such as a fall from standing height. The prevalence of osteoporosis is 2% at age 50, and 25% at age 80 in women. There is a significantassociatedcost,mostlyrelatedtohipfracturecare.

Fragility fractures result from a mechanical force that would not ordinarily result in fracture. They are associated with low bone mineral density (BMD) and occur most commonly in the vertebrae, proximal femur, and distal radius (also consider in the humerus, pelvis, and ribs). Hip and vertebralfractures are associated with reduced life expectancy.
AssessmentcriteriaandriskfactorsforosteoporosisaresummarizedinTable24.1.

Source:datafromNICECG146.
The patient groups listed in Table 24.1 should be assessed initially using a risk assessmenttool(see‘Methodsofriskassessment’).
However, the following two groups should be referred for a DXA scan directly, withoutusingariskassessmenttool:
Patientsaged>50yearsANDapreviousfragilityfracture Patientsaged<40 years ANDcurrent/recent high-dose steroid usefor ≥3 months (equivalentto ≥7.5mgprednisoloneOD)ORpreviousfragilityfracture.
Methodsofriskassessment
Two risk assessment tools, FRAX® and QFracture®, are available for use in the UKto estimatethe10-yearprobability(asapercentage)ofamajorosteoporoticorhipfracture.
https://t.me/med1917
BothtoolsaredesignedtobeusedbeforeDXAscanningandhelptodecideifaDXA scan is necessary(aside from the exceptions previouslymentioned). Onceapatienthas hadaDXAscan,theFRAX®scoreshouldberecalculatedincorporatingtheDXAresult.
FRAX
®
FRAX2can be usedforpeopleaged40–90years, eitherwithor withoutBMDvalues. It takesintoaccountpreviousandfamilyhistoryoffractures,smoking,alcoholandsteroid use,andriskfactorsfor secondaryosteoporosis.Theresultisplottedontoagraph(Fig.

QFracture3canbeusedforpeopleaged30–99years.BMDvaluescannotbeincorporated into the algorithm. QFracture® considers more specific comorbidities such as chronic liverdiseaseanddementiacomparedtoFRAX®.
If treatmentisadvisedafterusingtheriskassessmenttools,thepatientshould havea DXAscanpriortocommencingtreatment.
Patientsabovetheupperagelimitsdefinedbythetoolsareautomaticallyconsideredtobeat high risk.Rememberthatinpatients>80years, resultsshouldbeinterpretedcautiouslyas a 10-yearscoremayunderestimatetheirshort-termrisk.
Investigations
Bloods
FBC U&E(CKD) CRP/ESR(chronicinflammatorydisease) Calcium(hyper) LFT(chronicliverdisease) TFT(hyperthyroidism).
Considertestingifclinicalsuspicion:

Imaging
DXAscan
DXAusesX-raystonon-invasivelyassessbonedensityatthehipandlumbarspine.The scanfacilitatescalculation ofa T-score(comparison withthebonedensityof a30-year­old,seeBox24.1)andaZ-score(agematched).

Management
Lifestyleandsimpleinterventions
Encouragepatientsto:
Performregularweight-bearingexercises Stopsmoking Reducealcoholconsumption Eatfoodswithcalciumregularly.
Pharmacologicalmanagement
CalciumandvitaminDsupplementation
If daily intake of calcium (700–1200 mg/day) or exposure to sunlight is inadequate, prescribecalciumand/orvitaminDsupplementation,e.g.AdcalD3®,onetabletBD.
Bisphosphonates(firstline)
Forexample,oralalendronate10mgODor70mgonceweekly,oralrisedronate5mgOD or35mgonceweekly.
Bisphosphonatesblock the action ofinorganicpyrophosphateand thisprevents bone resorption. Side effects include dyspepsia and bowel disturbance (Box 24.2). Osteonecrosis of the jaw and atypical femoral fractures are rare but important adverse effectstowarnpatientsabout.
Contraindications:hypocalcaemia(checkpriortocommencingtreatment),severerenal impairment(GFR≤35mL/min).
If oral treatment is not tolerated, patients may be referred to a specialist for consideration of an IVbisphosphonateinfusion,e.g.zoledronicacid, orother specialist options(see‘Specialisttreatments(non-bisphosphonate)’).

Specialisttreatments(non-bisphosphonate)
Denosumab(monoclonalantibodyagainstRANKLonosteoclasts,inhibitingactivity):
6-monthlySCinjection BMDfallswithinterruptionoftherapy
Raloxifene(selectiveoestrogenreceptormodulator):
May be considered in postmenopausal women if low risk ofdeep vein thrombosis (DVT) and/orhighriskofbreastcancer(reducesbreastcancerrisk)
Hormonereplacementtherapy(HRT):
Maybeconsideredinwomenifaged<60years,or<10yearsaftermenopauseiflowriskof DVTandbreastcancer
Teriparatide(recombinanthumanPTH):
Maybeconsideredifveryhighriskoffractures.Canbeprescribedforupto2years
Romosozumab(sclerostinantagonist):
Maybeconsideredifveryhighriskoffractures.Canbeprescribedforupto1year Contraindicatedifischaemicheartdisease/cerebrovasculardisease.
Monitoringandfollow-up
Patientswhodonothaveosteoporosisoninitialassessmentshouldbereassessedafter2 years,orsooneriftheirriskfactorschange.
Patientsonbisphosphonatesshouldbereviewedafter5years(3yearsifonzoledronic acid).Theyshouldhaveareassessmentoftheirfracturerisk.
If theycontinue to be osteoporotic,or stillfall within the treat section of the NOGG fracture probability table, consider whether to continue treatment for a maximum of another5years.
If they are no longer osteoporotic and fall below the NOGG intervention threshold, considerstoppingthebisphosphonatefora‘drugholiday’andreassessafter1.5–3years.
Specialconsiderations
